Tuesday the Overrated Red Rebels travels to HVA.  Thursday the overrated (7th in the state poles) Rebels host the #1 Cleveland Blue Raiders. 

How weird....# 8 ranked Oak Ridge plays at # 1 ranked Cleveland on the Tuesday the 11th. How about both Maryville and Oak Ridge pin losses on our Blue Raider friends?

That would be awesome. Gonna be tough. I was at the Cleveland game at OR last month. They are really good. 

Cleveland is very good but they are due for a loss. Maryville only lost to them by one or two points without football players at Cleveland in December. It was a low scoring game as I recall- Maryville played at a much slower tempo down there than they have been playing lately. Anxious to see if it is an up tempo game at MHS. Point guard matchup of Joe Anderson ( Furman) vs Jacobi Wood (Belmont) is as good as it gets this year in ET.

Up tempo plays into Cleveland’s hands, imo but Maryville is definitely more suited to play an up and down the court game than they were in December. I would like to see a fast paced game as a spectator. 

Point guard matchup of Joe Anderson (Furman) vs Jacobi Wood (Belmont) is as good as it gets this year in ET. Both guys have good supporting casts, too.

Not sure that Maryville wants to run with Cleveland. Cleveland is a running team and slowing the pace down is the best way to beat us. We could be due for a loss........ but it ain’t happened yet. We have won 47-48 games with our only loss coming from James Wiseman and those boys from Memphis. We also play better on the road than at home. Will be a fun game to watch

Cleveland played very selfish in that game against Maryville. Should be a good game. Cleveland seems to play more focused on the road.

I totally agree with you on running with Cleveland- it’s not advisable.If it was a post season win or go home scenario, I think Maryville would play at a much slower tempo. Coach Eldridge’s teams always seem to have the ability to dictate the tempo of the game depending on the opposition. 

However, since it is not a win or go home scenario and the game is being played on Maryville’s home court, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Maryville play much faster than they did at Cleveland.

    • The sandbagging begins… y’all made sure LV won’t be a problem by snagging 2 of their better players. 
    • Partin left? I’ll be.
    • And yes, in 2010 Clary/Scott Monger got into it with a R’dale fan. Well, mostly Monger lol. I think the fan took a swing at him. It’s funny as all get out listening to it on the replay. Scott told the guy to sit his a** down. Lol. That wasn’t the only time SM got into it with an opposing team. Seems like he got into it with someone at William Blount one year. He was an OG lol
    • Nope, they knew lol. He was just one tough hombre. Played right up to near the end of the Powell game like that and we almost won. I think they beat us, 21-17. Was a valiant effort on his part though.
    • No, that was in 2010. We played them in the quarterfinals in ‘11 the year I’m talking about, but we got hammered 35-14. 2010 was a fun year though. Played Maryville in the semis and gave them a really tough game for the majority of that game, but their depth eventually wore OR down, 38-21. Bradley had a few awesome runs in that game. He was a stud. Nothing fancy, but like I said, a mini Tebow. Would keep that read option up the middle and pound that tater in there. He was hard to bring down. Probably went for 195 lbs, if that.
